Shortly after the child's birth the mother died July 2nd, 1842.

He was converted in his young manhood and has always been identified with the Methodist Episcopal Church. For the larger part of his life he has served the church in an official capacity, filling at different periods the plave of Sunday School Superintendent, trustee, and steward, with great fidelity and great acceptance to the church. For a number of years he was also a trustee of Baldwin University. He was a man of great industry and found real pleasure in hard work, and one of his great trials in his last years was his increasing inability to to labor. He was upright in his character and of unquestioned integrity in all his varied and numerous business transactions. He has had his full share of trouble but met it with brave fortitude and patience. He was kind in disposition and exceedingly considerate of the rights and feelings of others and his domestic relations were marked by great and unwearied affection. He was undemonstrative in his religious life, while always ready to take part in all the social services of the church, sought to make his life bear constant testimony to his faith. Besides his brothers, daughter, son, and wife he leaves four grandchildren, and one great-grandchild, and a wide circle of friends in the church, and in the village and the vicinity of Berea, and at his old home in Northfield, to mourn his loss. He fell asleep on Tuesday. Feb. 26, 1901 at 5:30 a.m., being 81 years, 2 months and 18 days old."
